Ford F-150 2008 Power Train Automatic TransmissionFord F-150 2008 Power Train Automatic Transmission Review #10223206 FORD F-150 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2008.FORD F-150 2008, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i have a 2008 ford f-150 supercrew with an automatic transmission that i bought brand new and it has about 4,000 miles on it now. the transmission does not shift properly all the time. on about 12 to 15 occasions the transmission has shifted into neutral when i am traveling between 15 to 30 miles an hour. the transmission shifts into neutral when i let off the gas pedal and i am coasting around a curve, down a hill, or around an on or off ramp, while coasting at a speed between 15 to 30 miles per hour. after coasting for a few seconds and i attempt to accelerate is when i realize the truck is in neutral because the rpms go up and the truck does not accelerate. after i let off the gas pedal the truck will then slam into gear. i have taken my ford back to the dealer two times to have it fixed and they say they can not fix it because it does not happen all the time. they told me to drive it until it gets worse and then bring it back. i did not realize just how much danger they were putting me in until april 1, 2008 because the truck had not ever shifted into neutral while i was coasting around an off ramp and attempting to merge into traffic. on april 1st i was traveling around an off ramp from a major highway to merge into traffic on a major interstate and when i attempted to accelerate and merge into traffic and to my surprise the truck was in neutral. a car almost ran into the back of my truck before my truck slammed into gear and i was able to accelerate. i was almost involved in an accident because this brand new truck does not shift properly and ford does not think it is important enough to investigate more and to fix the problem. i have reported it to ford customer relations center and they say they can not fix it until it happens more frequently and then they can duplicate the occurrence. the truck is unsafe to drive and could cause me or my wife and children to be involved in an accident. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FTPW14V38F.

Ford F-150 2008 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
